“…1). (Cohen et al, 2013;updated) Early ( Proximal siliciclastic deposits along the northern, southern, and southeastern sides of the Coahuila block indicate that it was a paleogeographic peninsula or island during Jurassic through mid-Aptian time (Smith, 1981;McKee et al, , 1990Eguiluz de Antuñano, 2001). A separate island was located in what is now the Sabinas basin at Potrero La Mula (Fig.…”

“…8), consistent with deposition in a rift or pull-apart setting. Depositional systems range through alluvial fans, ephemeral rivers, a small erg, and marginal marine settings that include fan deltas (e.g., Fortunato and Ward, 1982;McKee et al, 1990;Eguiluz de Antuñano, 2001;González-Naranjo et al, 2008). Nomenclature of Jurassic and lowermost Cretaceous units adjacent to the Coahuila block varies because of the abrupt facies changes and limited exposure (Fig.…”

New analyses of U-Pb ages along with previously published analyses of detrital zircons from sandstones in the foreland of the Marathon orogen in west Texas have significant implications regarding provenance. The most prominent concentrations of U-Pb ages are at 1200–1000, 700–500, and 500–290 Ma. The accreted Coahuila terrane in the Marathon hinterland and nearby terranes with Gondwanan (Amazonia) affinity include Paleozoic volcanic and plutonic rocks, as well as Precambrian basement rocks. Late Paleozoic Las Delicias arc rocks have ages of 331–270 Ma. Detrital zircons from Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sandstones, which were deposited in local basins around the Coahuila terrane, provide a record of detritus available from proximal sources within Coahuila, including important peaks at 1040, 562, 422, 414, 373, and 282 Ma. Components of the detrital-zircon populations in the Marathon foreland have unique matches with primary and/or detrital sources in the Coahuila terrane. Although some components of the Marathon populations also have age matches in Laurentia (Appalachians), others do not; however, all components of the Marathon populations have potential sources in Coahuila. Analyses of εHft show generally more negative values in Amazonia than in Laurentia, and εHft values for Marathon sandstones have distributions similar to those in Amazonia. Therefore, the Coahuila terrane provides a provenance for all of the detrital-zircon ages in the Marathon foreland, requiring no mixing from other sources.

“…The presence of D. brisenoi in northeastern Mexico, represent the only known record for the genus in Mexico (Silva-Martínez et al, 2014) and the second one in America, and it is also the most austral record for this continent (Figure 7). Paleoecology and paleobiology of the genus Diplodetus: In the Northeastern of Mexico, the Austin Formation has been widely described by different authors at different localities (Shumard, 1860;Reeside, 1927;Adkins, 1930;Young, 1963;Carrasco, 1963Carrasco, , 1969Taff, 1892;Santamaría-Zabala, 1991;Sohl et al, 1991;Eguiluz de Antuñano, 2001;Escalante et al, 2002;Romo-Ramírez et al, 2002;Santiago et al, 2003;Stinnesbeck et al, 2005;Myers, 2010;Silva-Martínez et al, 2014). It was deposited under conditions of an inner/medium continental shelf environment.…”

“…Within this tectonic, paleogeographic, and sedimentological framework lies one of the most studied geographic areas in Mexico, the Sabinas Basin, well known for its tremendous geological importance and economic bearings. This basin is restricted by the fold belt and Parras-Popa provinces of the eastern Sierra Madre, and the Coahuila Platform to the south, by the Chihuahua Platform to the west, and by the Burro Platform to the east and north (Eguiluz de Antuñano, 2001).…”

Plate sections of saccocomid crinoids spotted in the Albian carbonate deposits of the Georgetown Formation from Sierra Azul (Coahuila, NE, Mexico) are reported and described. These microfossil remains consist of discarded proximal plates and partial thecae, i.e. primibrachial plates and radial pieces of a partial cup. These roveacrinoids are associated with calcisphere blooms and an abundant diversified planktic foraminiferal assemblage, mostly consisting of favusellids. All these features are evidence of a high primary productivity within an unstable deepening environment. Such pelagic crinoids have been so far regarded as opportunistic organisms that thrived during transgressive eustatic levels and phyto-planktic blooms, in abundance/accumulation events all indicative of hypoxic conditions. The overall microfossil assemblage assigns to this finding an Albian-Early Cenomanian age. Such an event might be well correlated and/or contemporaneous to the bundle of hypoxic events known as OAE1. Such saccocomid plates in Albian deposits revive the debate on the transition between the late Jurassic genera (Saccocoma Agassiz and Crassicoma Sieverts-Doreck & Hess, in Hess) and the late Cretaceous ones (mainly Applinocrinus Peck).
